  • Every C statement ends with semi colon (;)
  • C Language supports large set of library functions.
  • C is a function oriented,Procedure Oriented and Structure Oriented Programming Language.
  • In C Language the source code functionality majorly depends on Functions. So it is called function oriented programming language.
  • A Procedure Oriented programming is dividing the program into small modules based on its it's operation is called a Procedure Oriented 
  • C Language can be called as Structure Oriented Programming Since it satisfies 3 literals.
           1. Sequence of steps.
           2. Decision Making
